Mason has now been with Sandy for just over a month and he absolutely adores her. Sandy is very well educated in every aspect and this really shines through as I have seen a massive difference in the things Mason has learnt. Sandy is always out and about doing different activities with the children and it makes my day when Sandy sends pictures of Mason doing all these different things. Sandy’s family are also lovely and have taken to Mason very well and treat him like family. I honestly couldn’t recommend Sandy enough and I’m so glad I found her when I did. She runs her business very professionally and I love reading the little diary that Sandy sends home every day of what has happened throughout the day.
Honestly Sandy is a god send

Thank you
My husband and I have had Sandy babysitting for us during the evening a number of times now and have found her to be extremely personable, pleasant and professional.
She has been very patient and kind with both my 8 year old daughter (who will occasionally push boundaries) and my (slightly moody) 13 year old son.
Sandy is also super punctual and easy going. Additionally we found her hourly rate is exceptionally good, especially considering her excellent qualifications/experience.
Its great to know we can relax on an evening out knowing our kids are in safe competent hands. We are really happy to have found her here on the Childcare website. I would not hesitate to recommend her services,
Best wishes,
M & M

Sandy has been looking after my little boy for nearly 6 months and I couldn't recommend her enough. She is so professional and takes a huge amount of care in the way she looks after the children and runs her business.
She takes great interest in the way your child develops and provides a wonderful development book with loads of pictures, as well as a daily journal so you keep completely up to date with their progress and how they spend their days. She is really creative and is always doing things with the children - both when they're at home (such as messy play or baking) or taking them to playgroups, music groups or outings to nearby parks. He has such a wonderful time with her and I'm really sad that we will soon be leaving them (I'm about to have another baby so will be looking after them both at home).
The entire family are lovely and their home clean and well organised so i have always felt very comfortable leaving my little boy in that environment. Please contact me directly if you like as I'd be really happy to answer any questions you may have.

That's so lovely to hear. I know you as a family will be missed by my own children and others that attend my care and that have become friends to your little one. I do hope you will stay in contact. I have enjoyed helping your little boy develop, change and become a real charictor all of his own and will miss the cheeky looks and funny faces that he does and knows he is doing lol. Thank you for chosing myself and family to help during the time that you needed childcare. I wish you all the best and much much happiness. Love sandy and family
I found Sandy through this website when looking for a local babysitter. I've never used a babysitter before so was quite nervous about the whole process. Sandy made it very easy for me, she came round early to meet the children, play with them and help with bedtime. As soon as Sandy came in she put me at ease and was playing trains with my 3 year old son within 10 mins. When we got to story time I was dismissed by my little boy to get ready because he wanted Sandy to read the story rather than me!! I could hear them singing away together. Both children went straight to sleep quite happy in the knowledge that Sandy was going to look after them while mummy and daddy went out. Sandy was so easy to talk to I almost stayed in to sit and have a chat! Sandy bought references and relevant paperwork along with her and I went out happy. I will be using Sandy again next time and recommend her to other mums and dads as a great babysitter.

Thank you
Sandy has been an absolute treasure! She has not only been extremely flexible with our up and down working hours but she is a genuine, kind and understanding person who has taken great care of our little boy Beau. The learning and development at Sandy's childminding is outstanding! I could not believe the amount of information and feedback Sandy would give after a day with our son. She provided us with a very thorough and detailed book which informed us of all of Beau's learning stages. Not only that but also provided us with a book which each day let us know what she had been doing with Beau, what time he had his feeds, when his nappy was changed and what kind of mood Beau may have been in that day. Sandy also made us a large book full of pictures of Beau and his day to day development. Impressed is an understatement- I have no idea how she does all of this! She is brilliant.
Beau has developed so quickly being at Sandy's. He is one years old and has now been chatting away and just started walking (I think he learnt that from Sandy's little boy rather quickly). Beau is generally a very happy baby but when he comes home from Sandy's he is happy and worn out!! We will miss Sandy very much and I know Beau will miss her too.
Sandy has also been 100% accommodating to our needs (for example: if we have been called in to work last minute). Communication is extremely important between mother and childminder and Sandy has exceeded all my expectations. She has also been that lovely, supportive woman when I've had my ups and downs as a new mummy!
ONE MORE THING...Sandy's home is perfectly set out with sooo many toys and things to do- also in the garden! She is so professional, her home is professional and she deserves the title for the best childminder in Farnham!...and I am so sad to be leaving her!!

Thank you so much for your kind words it has been a pleasure to have your child attend my care. He will be missed by both my children and others that he has made lovely friendships with but wish you all the best you know where I am if you need me ?xx
Sandy looks after my daughter 3 days a week. My daughter enjoys her time with Sandy. They are always doing different things, not the same routine over and over again.
My daughter go's to many different toddler groups and enjoys meeting different children. They go to the woods, the park, feeding the ducks and many more. Her favourite is making and playing with play dough which she does for hours at a time.
Sandy treats each child like her own, and I would recommend her to people.

Bless thank you so much your daughter is a pleasure to have.I love the little challenges she gives me lol and try to ensure she is happy and enjoys the activities and things that we do which also help develop and further her to reach and achieve her next steps set up by both of us parent and minder.
My 2.5 year old daughter has recently started attending Sandy's. She is usually very shy but liked Sandy instantly and cannot wait to go back to her. Sandy takes her to parks, her own garden. She brings home art and stories of Sandy reading and palying to her. Sandy suppots her potty training which very important at this stage. Sandy's children are lovely and my daughter calls them her friends which is not easy to earn. Happy to have found her.

Thank you so much. I love having your daughter in my care helping her learn, grow and develop. I'm so pleased that she enjoys coming to me.
Sandy has been absolutely amazing for our 2 year old daughter. We cannot recommend her enough. We had to look for another childminder when our previous one moved out of the area and found Sandy. Jasmine has been with Sandy since she started for 3 days a week.
Jasmine always comes back very tired but very happy and full of stories of everything she has been up to that day.
Sandy takes her to lots of playgroups and most days comes home with something she has made for us. Sandy's 5 year old daughter is lovely too and our daughter considers her her best friend. What really helped us was how Sandy helped the us with the potty training process and a few other things that normally would have caused tantrums from our little one, however they are slowly disapearing thanks to her help. We did consider a nursery but seeing how happy Jasmine is at Sandy's we are very happy with the choice we made.
